[UPDATE: Cabrera later told ESPN Deportes' Enrique Rojas that the surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. "I don't know anything about the operation, I don't want to know the details, I just hope it heals fast. I am trusting that the doctors can fix the problem," he said. "I have a lot left in me."]

All along, the Tigers said that Cabrera’s strain would not heal up by itself, if given time off.
